With artwork by Jennings Heilig, and printed in Italy by Cartograf, AHS has released a new 1/144 scale screen printed decal for New Pacific Airlines Boeing 757-200.
New Pacific Airlines launched limited services in 2023 using a pair of ex American Airlines, ex US Airways RB.211-535E powered aircraft. Initially these aircraft wore Northern Pacific Airlines titles, however the airline had to change their name following a trademark claim by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.

New Pacific’s initial intention was to operate their 757 fleet from a base in Anchorage Alaska, providing connecting services from the US with destinations in the far east in a manner similar to Icelandair at Keflavik. The Ukraine war, and the subsequent closing of Russian airspace to US registered airlines forced a change of plans, as the 757 lacks the range to link Alaska with these far east destinations using routes that avoid Russian airspace. Consequently New Pacific launched limited domestic scheduled services from Las Vegas and Reno, however due to poor load factors, these have been dropped. New Pacific now employs their 757s operating charter flights.
